Stay Healthy On The South Beach Diet

People wrongfully see the word 'diet' at the end of South Beach, and think, they will be ingesting less and in smaller amounts. This could not be more wrong when talking about the South Beach Diet. The point of this weight loss diet is to supply your body with the food and nutrition so that the body's metabolism can break it down.

It uses controlled amounts so that the body is given exactly what it should break down in a given amount of time, and doing more or less for that matter will adversely effect the results. What this means. This means that not eating is not the way to have the South Beach Diet work for you. This also means that eating too much is not the way to have the diet work for you.

Here is an idea of what you should and can be eating when in the first phase of the diet plan:
Chicken, beef, turkey, fish, vegetables, cheese, and nuts are all things that are eaten in the first phase. Keep in mind they are controlled and the point is to give your body exactly what it needs to work to break down, not too less and not too much more.

Remember during phase 2 you will be getting back to eating your favorite pastas and breads, along with potatoes and fruit. Even cakes and cookies in moderation, yes I said cakes and cookies on your South Beach Diet plan :)
